A white supremacist in Goldsboro, North Carolina, has been arrested for the murder of a gay man in what is suspected to be a hate crime.

Kenneth Morgan Stancil, 20, has been charged with shooting and killing Ron Lane, 44, at Wayne Community College on Monday. Stancil—who goes by the name Morgan, had been an employee of Lane's at the campus print shop but was fired for having too many absences.

As the campus was put on lockdown, Stancil fled to Daytona Beach, Florida. He was discovered by police there sleeping on the beach.

At his bond hearing, Stancil accused Lane of sexually molesting one of his relatives. "I just want you to know, I ridded one less fucking child molester from the fucking earth that fucked with my little brother,' he told the judge.

Stancil's mother denies the molestation claim, but does say Lane made sexual advances on her son."[Lane] was very verbally inappropriate... [He] told him to stop and he just kept on."

A hate crime as not been ruled out, as Stancil had ties to the neo-Nazi movement—he recently got a facial tattoo of the number 88– a symbol for "Heil Hitler," and had the word "brotherhood" tattooed on his neck. He has been denied bail and has hired a public defender.

At Wayne Community College, a memorial has been set up in the middle of campus, and counsellors were on hand yesterday to talk to students and faculty about the tragedy. "He filled people's hearts," said freshman Brayan Lopez. "I just felt [coming here] was the right thing to do."
